BROWSE (LAND) AGREEMENT BILL 2012Browse (Land) Agreement • January 23rd, 2013
The purpose of the bill is to ratify and authorise the implementation of the Browse (Land) Agreement, scheduled to the bill, in relation to the establishment of the Browse liquefied natural gas precinct near James Price Point in the Kimberley. The agreement is between the state, the Goolarabooloo Jabirr Jabirr people, whose registered native title claim includes the area of the precinct, and the Kimberley Land Council. It was executed on 30 June 2011, along with the Browse Liquefied Natural Gas Precinct Project Agreement and the Browse Liquefied Natural Gas Regional Benefits Agreement. Together they form one of the most significant native title agreements ever reached in Australia. The ratification of this agreement by the state Parliament is also of historical significance. It is the first time that Parliament is being asked to ratify an agreement between the state and Indigenous Western Australians.
